Sephora's Sunsafety Kit

Wow, I want to get hands on this baby.
For U$30 ($193 value) you will receive 14 deluxe size sample and a reusable train case.
As mentioned on this ad, 100% of net profits will be give to The Skin Cancer Foundation.
Too bad it is not available to Canadians...yet. (?)

I hope this will come to Canada soon...really soon.

New Products

I love to try new products but I like to wait for free samples or coupons first.
Here I have found a few that I would love to try.

1. IQ Smarter Cleaner
You can reuse the bottle and all you have to purchase is the re-fills for $2.49.
You can see the tiny packages beside the bottle.
It is a great idea becuase save on space, energy, and helping the environment.
Right now if you go to their facebook page you can print out $1 off coupon for the starter kit that comes with a full bottle and a refill for $5.47.
I hope Walmart accepts printed coupons...

 2. Has anyone tried O.N.E. coconut water?
I drink coconut juice all the time but never coconut water.
I wonder if it has a similar taste.

 3. I was at Sobey's cereal isle and saw this...
I had a good laugh.
I didn't know if you were allow to put it on a product but I guess you can.
This product was seen on CBC's Dragon's Den.
I enjoyed watching the clip.
The husband tried to make a sales pitch but in the end he didn't really have to.
One of the investors already wants in before the guy was even done.
You should read about them.  It is very interesting.

My Shopping List

1. Lush - shampoo bar for C$10.95
Last as long as 3 bottles of 200 ml of shampoo so they estimated about 50-80 washes.
I think that is crazy.  I just want to purchase it to test it out.

2. Kiehl's Limited Edition Label Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque for C$26
Net proceeds to benefit Evergreen (Charity Organization).  I dont have a cleansing mask yet.  I didn't like Glam Glow so I am hoping this will do wonders for me.

3. MAC's Viva Glam Lipstick
Every penny goes towards MAC Aids Fund (Charity Organization)
Not sure which colour yet but darker the better.

 

New at Sephora

There are some new items at Sephora this month.
These are my top 3 I want to check out.

I like to play around with Bare Escentuals makeup at the store :)

C$28

I am looking for a good coverage foundation.
This peeked my interest.

C$49

This addresses uneven skin tone & dark spots.
I think I might try this out too!  A facial while I am sleeping.  My wish has come true :)

C$62.50

Anything new at Sephora you want to try?

Neutrogena - SPF 110

Have you even hear a sunscreen with SPF 110?
At the most I have seen SPF 70.
I use to remember sunscreen use to be SPF 8 or 15...what is happening to our poor planet :(
Just read an article that Neutrogena just came out with SPF 110.
88 ml with a cool C$17 price tag.
It states its light as a feather but has the strength to protect you from UV rays.
"Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen" = not greasy - SOLD!
I believe it is or will be available at Shoppers Drug Mart but it might be in Walmart & Loblaw's superstore too.
Picking up one?

New - Build-A-Bear

My daughter and I enjoy going into Build-a-Bear store.
I find some of the stuff animals are reasonable priced but not their clothes.
So far we have purchased only three - a brown bear, a white Hello Kitty, and a brown horse.
Now they have announced they are doing a limited time - Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy.
I should go this weekend to take a look on Kermy...I would like to see if my daughter will be interested.

Who's screaming for ice cream?

I was looking at my local Walmart Canadian flyer and you would not believe what I saw.
For $3.97 they are selling Ben & Jerry's Red Velvet Cake ice cream.
Who does not like that?
Best of both worlds - there goes my diet...Hahahaha.
Going to pick one up?  What is your favourite flavour?

Lush - Valentines Day Edition

Lush has released their limited edition products just in time for Valentine's Day.
I think their pre-wrapped gifts are perfect/easy for significant other to purchase.
It has a little bit of everything in one pretty box/wrap.
Which one do you like?

C$ 49.95

C$ 34.95

C$29.95

Window Shopping Again

I was out window shopping again.
I love purses.
I would love shoes but I can't wear high heels :(
So my next best thing is purses.
Last year, I bought so many purses so this year I am trying to hold off until next...but I am having a hard time resisting...

Pastels = Spring

Pastel is hot for this Spring.
Lancome has a pastel line for their Spring collection
Are they not pretty?

Look at Dior Spring collection

Even Lise Watier

Will you be picking up any of the pastels colours for this Spring?

Almond Fresh

Are you getting enough calcium?
I was just reading my March issue of Chatelaine Magazine and saw an ad for Almond Fresh.

The ad states that the unsweetened is only 35 calories per 250ml serving (but the website says it is 30 calories).

Few interesting facts I found:

• It is a great substitution of milk (dairy-free) especially for people with lactose intolerance.
• The original and the vanilla favour has half the calories of 2% milk
• It is certified kosher
• It is wheat and gluten free

I have not seen these in stores yet.  I love to give it a try.  I would make my smoothies with it.  Has anyone see this or try this?

Mon Armour Collection

Hello Kitty has launched a new line called Mon Armour at Sephora.
I love Hello Kitty and I already have her compact mirror.
They are all really cute and would love to try both of their palettes.
Have you tried any of the Hello Kitty collections?
Do you like it?

Mon Armour Palette $36US

Parisienne Palette $42US

Brush Set $49US

compact mirror $19US

make-up bag $29US

Nail File Set $10US

Butter, butter, butter

Picture from BeautyMark newsletter

Until last year, I have never hear of them.
I have yet to try them.  What is stopping me is the price.
$18 for a nail polish?
Just as expensive as Deborah Lippmann which I never heard of until I have signed up for topbox, which you can read it here.
They said their nail polish is without the harsh chemicals.
They call it the 3 Free: which is No Formaldehyde, No toluene, No DBP (phthales).
Maybe someday I might treat myself to one or maybe I might be lucky to get one as a gift. :)

New Lush Products

Lush has 15 new inventions - check them out here.
They all look so nice that I think I have to pop into the store to check them out.
Here are my top 5 that I think I have to add to my wish list

#1 - Lustre: Dusting powder - smells good and look amazing.  I like the sound of that.

#2 - Latte: Lip Tint - made with powdered coffee.  Not sure about this but I love lip tint.

#3 - Ro's Argan: Body Conditioner.  Anything that helps to soften my skin I am all for it.

#4 - Rose Queen: Bath Bomb.  If I ever take a bath I would love to try this out.  It has petals in it!

#5 - Dirty: Soap.  I think this is perfect for my bathroom, even a conversational piece.  A soap that says Dirty on it is pretty funny.

Spring Colours

There is another one on my wish list - Maybe...
Saw this on Sephora's facebook page.
Those colour reminds me of Spring.
I don't think I could wear those colours, maybe my 5 year old can.
I have seen this women around her 30s wearing baby blue eye shadow.
Really bright baby blue eye shadow.
Wish I could take a picture of her to show you how bright it is.
It really pops out on her fair skin.
I want to tell her, maybe she should retire her baby blue and maybe go for something darker.

Say yes!

Have you tried Yes to carrots/cucumbers/etc...?
I have see these at Shoppers Drug Mart the other day.
They look so interesting I wanted to try them out.
So far I have read great reviews on them.
If you have tried them, which one should I try?

Oh, I want that!

Naked, naked, naked...
I want to try Naked 2 by Urban Decay
I am so jealous for those who has it already.
I have read a few reviews who has it liked it.
There was a review that some palettes from the first are dupes/similar in the second box.
Since I don't own their first version...should I?
But it is $50US...it is so expensive.
Do you have one?  Do you like it?
